Guru's WNBA Report: Donovan Honored in Suburban Philly

By Mel Greenberg

ASTON, Pa. --
WNBA Connecticut Sun coach Anne Donovan was honored here at Neumann University Tuesday night for something different than your normal honors, which you all saw through one link or another in the advances.

BTW. A very good story at philly.com from news section by news-side's Jeff Gammage at The Inquirer where you can get a full scope of the background.

The Guru was on the scene to cover the speech and question and answer session.

For those friends up north only two names came up all evening -- references to Dawn Staley and Andrea Stinson, her two co-captains who led the turn-around in Charlotte from 1-10 start to WNBA finals.

In a magnanimous gesture beforehand, the Guru decided to send the traffic here to the Connecticut Sun so they have the full report and will probably post sometime this morning after editing and getting the photos from Neumann.

In other news, didn't know the Big East was into regattas yet if you need someone at the women's helm of a re-formatted ship, might as well have a Cox do the job. :)

Unlike elsewhere whenever the Preseason USBWA men's and women's teams post at the site's tipoff report, at least one Big East team will be in the women's rankings.

That is all. Will tweet when Donovan story is running at Mohegan central.
